If your midi cable's anything like mine, it's got a small round end, and a large flat one.  The small plug goes into your keyboard (usually in "midi out", but some go in "midi in" so try both).  The large flat one plugs into your sound card.

Use your midi software to "record midi imput" and voilà.
